ArtLife is intended to be a reflection of my pursuit of excellence in photography, cooking, and writing.
I said pursuit, not arrival!

Music

What lasts and what doesn't; this fascinates me. So much changes with aging. Things that seemed relevant at a younger age now seem silly. This should apply to early music impressions, should it not? It doesn't seem to work that way for me. I suspect that I'm not unique. My musical "idols" in my 20's were Todd Rundgren , Van Morrison, John Lennon, David Bowie, Mark Knopfler, James Taylor, and Jesse Winchester. With aging, these stars don't seem to fade. Instead, these and many others, become more cherished as time passes. Many new performers keep appearing; I expect them to subtract from my pantheon. They don't; it keeps growing. That's wonderful!
